On-Screen Icons

Starting at the top left and moving to the right, the icons are as follows:

Level: This is your current level, including a bar which shows how many experience points you have towards leveling up.

Crops: This shows your current store of crops, which are used to feed herbivores. Crops can be acquired at the Crops Harbor, which will be discussed later in Harbors.

Meat: This shows your current store of meat, which is used to feed carnivores. Meat can be acquired at the Meat Harbor, which will be discussed later in Harbors.

Gold: This is how much gold you posess. You receive gold for checking on your dinosaurs, buildings, and harbors, as well as for completing missions and (once you reach it) Red Alert Mode.

In-Game Dollars (IGD): This is how many in-game dollars you posess. You receive these for levelling up, and occasionally for completing a mission. These are used to speed up some game activities (we will cover this later), as well as to purchase dinosaurs, decorations, and buildings which cannot be purchased by gold. You can purchase more in-game dollars in the Market using real life funds. The pricing isn't too steep, as you can purchase 20 in-game dollars for just $1.99 USD.

Below the top row of icons, there is a button labeled "Missions". When touched, this button opens the Missions Screen:

This is where you can view missions you are currently working on, how much of the mission you have completed, and what the rewards will be for completing the mission. When progress has been made on a mission, an exclamation mark will appear at the top right of the Missions Button on the main screen.

At the bottom left of the screen, there is the Red Alert meter. This will only appear once you own at least 5 carnivores. Over time, the meter fills with red to signify that the carnivores are becoming restless. Once the meter is full you can touch the red circular button to activate 'Red Alert Mode', which we will discuss more later.

The final four icons on the screen are Options, Market, Social, and Roads.'

The Options button opens the options page, which looks like this:

This page allows you to turn on or off the Sound Effects (SFX), Music, and both 'Progress Completed' and 'Code Red Available' notifications. Additionally, you can alter your account, go to the app's Help menu, or view the credits for the game.
